Pawlo-X - Borrowed Boots, Broken Hearts Lyrics

They say you can't judge a man
Till you've walked a mile in his boots
Well, I walked more than a mile, and
I've got the scars to prove it

I found his boots in the corner there
Dusty soles from the life they'd shared
Said, "Son, try 'em on, they might just fit
But they come with stories you won't forget

Each step felt heavier than the last
Like I was walking through his troubled past
The leather creaked with unspoken pain
A life of heartache in every stain

Borrowed boots and broken hearts
Worn-out souls and brand-new scars
Every mile tells a tale untold
Of love and loss and dreams gone cold
When you walk in borrowed boots
You learn the truth
About broken hearts and how they bruise

He danced in these on a sawdust floor
With the love he'd sworn forevermore
But the boots remember the night she left
And the way they carried him through the depths

I felt the weight of his whiskey nights
The fights, the tears, and the fading lights
In these boots, I saw his whole life through
And realized his pain ain't far from my truth

Borrowed boots and broken hearts
Worn-out dreams and shattered parts
Every mile leaves a mark behind
A lesson learned, a reason to fight
When you walk in borrowed boots
You face the proof
That broken hearts are nothing new

Now I know why he held his head so low
Why he wore that hat pulled down just so
These boots taught me the man he'd been
And the battles he'd fought but couldn't win

Borrowed boots and broken hearts
Stories told through the dust and scars
Every mile's a chapter in the tale
Of promises kept and the times we fail
When you walk in borrowed boots
You see the truth
That life ain't easy, but we push through

Now I've put those boots back in their place
But their lessons linger, they won't erase
I've walked the steps of a man's regret
And I won't forget the weight of debt
Borrowed boots, broken hearts
They taught me who we really are

We all carry a story in our boots
Some heavier than others
But the weight ain't meant to break us
Just teach us how to walk taller
